Change of Designated Representative-In-Charge - California

Updated July 18, 2020
When key employees move on or are terminated, there are Designated Representative implications that you need to consider. Read on, as the consequences could invoke disciplinary action.

According to the California Board of Pharmacy Change of PIC/DRIC/RMG/Professional Director webpage:

Change of Designated Representative-in-Charge (DRIC)

"Business and Professions Code Sections 4160(f), states, “A wholesaler shall notify the board in writing, on a form designed by the board, within 30 days of the date when a designated representative-in-charge ceases to act as the designated representative-in-charge, and shall on the same form propose another designated representative or pharmacist to take over as the designated representative-in-charge. The proposed replacement designated representative-in-charge shall be subject to approval by the board. If disapproved, the wholesaler shall propose another replacement within 15 days of the date of disapproval, and shall continue to name proposed replacements until a designated representative-in-charge is approved by the board.”  The DRIC serves as supervisor or manager and is responsible for ensuring the wholesaler’s or veterinary food-animal drug retailer’s compliance with all the state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to practice and the applicable license.

If the DRIC is a pharmacist in the home state of the nonresident wholesaler license, is currently associated with an active nonresident wholesaler license, and has electronic fingerprints on file with the California State Board of Pharmacy, new fingerprints may not be required.  You may request a set of the board fingerprint cards if you do not hold a current California pharmacist license and are not currently associated as a DRIC to a nonresident wholesaler
